Try to launch Lightroom.

Solution 3: Use a script to restore permissions

If the previous solution does not resolve the folder permission issue, try this easy-to-run, shell-script-based solution explained below. This shell-script automatically restores the ownership and read/write permission, and it removes Access Control List (ACL) from the set of Adobe user folders and its subfolders.

On your Mac desktop, type Terminal in the Spotlight search box and launch the Terminal app.

From the Finder, drag the unzipped LightroomCorrectPermission.sh shell-script file (from step 2) onto the Terminal window. You see the following text in the terminal window:/Users/[username]/Downloads/LightroomCorrectPermission.sh

Press Enter to run the shell script.

When prompted, enter your Mac login credentials.Note: Ensure that you use the account with administrator privilege to log in.
